EM Gallaudet and AG Bell

As I wrote my answer for the test question on the similarities of E.M. Gallaudet and AG Bell, I was surprised how similar their personalities were.  Both men had undependable personalities because both men felt very strongly that each was correct in his own philosophy for teaching the deaf.  While Bell was more influential on a political level, Minor continued to be the most influential proponent for the oral-manual combined method.
